John, thanks for your suggestion. I would never have thought of looking 
for the cause of the problem in that direction. However, it isn't solved 
yet. The verbose mode yielded the line "numerix Numeric 23.7", which is 
apparently wrong. Actually I am trying to use SciPy, which I've heard is 
based on NumPy, so I believe this numerix thing should be connected with 
NumPy. I copied the file http://matplotlib.sf.net/matplotlibrc to 
~/.matplotlib/matplotlibrc (such a file didn't exist) and now I get a 
new kind of error (see below). Do you (or anyone) have an idea what this 
is about? Thanks in advance!

Axel.
